Nightclub visitors and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented.  The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

    • Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
    • Were any security personnel at the property?
    • Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
    • Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious persons or suspicious activity on the property prior to the shooting?
    • Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises.  Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its residents and visitors, the family of De’Tavion Marques Levi may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed.  The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the family of De’Tavion Marques Levi retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Employees and vendors have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a work site. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

  1. What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
  2. Did any such safety features fail?
  3. Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
  4. What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
  5. Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
  6. If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Robert Cherone will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Robert Cherone should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.
